the Lancet , after analysing 40 years of studies and reports, declares that only 9% of the population eats enough fibre, essential for significantly lowering heart disease, stroke, type 2 Diabetes and colorectal cancer compared to those who do not.
The British Nutrition Foundation has published a 7 day meal plan , available as a downloadable PDF, with a full nutritional breakdown for each day.
Worth a look perhaps?
Not sure how I'm supposed to fit all that in with 7 of my 5 a day, a glass of wine to help the heart and making sure I don't eat anything that has been "linked to cancer" but I suppose I could try.
I understand that those much advertised high fibre breakfast cereals have so little fibre in them that it might contravene the trades discription act. lol 😂
Hi Ian,
The notion seems sound. Certainly, worth a thought, however one increases the fibre intake. Replacing biscuits by fruit, grain based products by root vegetables etc. I do try
J (-:
My misses is experimenting with Chia seeds which are reputedly high in fibre:- 11g of fibre in only 28 grammes of seeds . The speed in which she has been running to the bathroomrecently suggests the figures are correct!
Hi, please could you post the link to the Brit Nutrition pdf or point me in the right direction on the website? Dim moment as couldn’t find it!! Thanks!
